 __Special note for Off-Grid systems__
-For Off-grid systems, its strongly recommend to make sure there is a minimum of DC-Coupled PV (= MPPT Solar Charger) in the system. Ie. not only AC-Coupled PV. Also, minimum battery configuration, and factor 1.0 are always important to adhere to, and even more so in case of Off-grid systems. Both BSL and Victron will be reluctant or even refusing to give support to systems that are not sized according to the minimum specified configurations.

 Victron MPPT charge characteristics are automatically configured & governed by the [[venus-os:start|GX device]]. The settings below are a precautionary measure only:
+Select Battery > Preset > Smart Lithium
 ^ MPPT Parameter ^ Setting ^
 |Battery voltage     |48V|
 |Absorption voltage   |55V|
+|Float voltage   |55V|
+The MPPT should also be configured correctly in case of the GX device failing and thus not being able to throttle up or down the charging currents and voltages.
